My dealer just posted their 4dr HLE scheduled for mid-Aug at $72k MSRP which makes no sense since the two units on the lot both have $7.5k ADM…

Makes sense. A couple of distinguishing points here:I'm not getting my HE for the appearance. The only reason I have waited this long for my bronco is that I have been waiting for the Modular Hard Top, and the HE is the only way to get it so far.
Also, the standard HE is the lowest cost way to get the mid-package with the 7MT.
Different strokes for different folksI don't really get the Heritage (esp Limited) thing. To me it's just an appearance package with some unique styling cues such as the interior and hard top that are more costly to replicate via 3rd party. And those styling cues are clearly not of interest to a lot of customers.
Happy for those that wanted one and got it; there's just nothing of interest in that package to me.
It is an appearance package but it has sasquatch and all the other options of the trim it's based on so it's just as capable and functional as a Big Bend or Badlands squatch. I for one am glad they're not for everyone, means I won't be seeing myself on every street corner or trail meet.Makes sense. A couple of distinguishing points here:
Again, I see the HE/HL as appearance packages more than functionality packages. The key difference is the 2-door Mod Top is the biggest functional feature that's differentiated from any of the non-Heritage versions.
- Since this thread was titled "Heritage Limited" my comments were focused primarily on that specific version as opposed vs the Heritage Edition. The HL is a "fully-loaded" Badlands w/ 2.7 & 10spd only whereas the HE is a well-appointed Big Bend with choice of 2.3 or 2/7 as well as 7/10 spd.
- From what I understand, the Mod Top for the 4-Door really only has a different color/finish and the removable side windows as opposed to the 2-Door which has the hatch on the rear cargo section? So unless you're getting a 2-door the primary difference is the color.
Passed on the Badlands for a 2 door HLE and can’t wait for it to come in. The Blue looks bland in videos and pictures. Not in person once seeing one.I really want to like this, but I can't. It just doesn't do anything for me. I'm just not a fan of that pale blue and white. It's bland on bland. Now if it were red and white, that would give it some contrast. Just IMHO.
And that blinding white dash board. Yikes! LOL
I hope you’re right! I haven’t seen one in person yet.Passed on the Badlands for a 2 door HLE and can’t wait for it to come in. The Blue looks bland in videos and pictures. Not in person once seeing one.
